Can the Average Person Earn a Stable Income Operating an On-line Business?
by: David Moore
Is a work-at-home business using your computer as your income tool realistic for the average person? First, let me say that I do not believe in the notion of an “average” person. There is no such thing. If there were, we wouldn’t have different acumens, different personalities, and different talents. My wife has many exceptional talents. She is extremely intuitive and seems to be able to see right through anyone who is not what they appear to be. But some of the basics (I think) of comprehension have passed her by. After 33 years of marriage I only learned last week that she was unaware of the procedure of putting gas into the car without having to squeeze the lever on the nozzle and keep holding it down. She didn’t realize you could slip the lever onto a notch and the flow of gas would shut off automatically when your tank is full. And she’s always fulfilled the function putting gas into her car, or ours, when we only had one car and she was driving it.
So on this very cold day she asked if I would mind taking her car to the station down the street to fill it with gas. She told me her hands got too cold when holding down the lever and she couldn’t find her gloves. UNBELIEVABLE! How could anyone not know you don’t have to keep holding the lever down with your hand? But you know what, I’ll bet there are lots of similar functions we take for granted whose utility others do not understand. At the same time, I’m sure there are things we don’t understand, or that we do the hard way when a much simpler application is available to us.
What’s my point? If we keep thinking the same way we’ve always thought, we’ll keep getting the same results we’ve always gotten. Einstein said it best. “The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.”
Having dispelled the notion of “average” let me say that yes it is true that a work-at-home business using your computer as your income tool is realistic for anyone who can read and write and perform the basic functions of life - whether you keep holding the lever down, or you do as I do and slip the lever into the notch on the nozzle while you get back in the car and listen to ball game on the radio until the tank is full.
But regardless of your acumen, your personality, or your unique talents, to be successful with an on-line business you have to have three important qualities, 1) a willingness to learn, 2) patience, and 3) focus.
